CBTL06DP212EE,118

Overview

The CBTL06DP212EE,118 is a high-performance multi-channel Generation 2 multiplexer designed for DisplayPort v1.2, v1.1a, or Embedded DisplayPort applications operating at data rates of 1.62 Gbit/s, 2.7 Gbit/s, or 5.4 Gbit/s. It utilizes NXP proprietary high-bandwidth pass-gate technology to perform 1:2 switching or 2:1 multiplexing of four high-speed differential AC-coupled DP channels. The device also supports Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal switching and provides an additional level of multiplexing for Auxiliary (AUX) and Display Data Channel (DDC) signals. It operates on a single 3.3 V power supply with a typical operation current of 2 mA.

Feature Summary

• Supports 1:2 switching or 2:1 multiplexing of DisplayPort main link signals across four high-speed differential channels
• Provides dedicated multiplexing paths for AUX/DC signals and HPD signals to accommodate flexible I/O allocation
• Features bidirectional signal paths allowing reverse topology configurations between source and sink devices

Applications

• Motherboard applications requiring DisplayPort and PCI Express switching/multiplexing
• Docking stations connecting multiple display sources to sinks
• Notebook computers managing GPU DisplayPort outputs
• Chip sets requiring flexible allocation of PCI Express or DisplayPort I/O pins to board connectors

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as the specific part number may be obsolete. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or check for valid replacement part numbers such as the CBTL06GP213EEJ. Ensure that any substitute components meet the required electrical specifications and package dimensions before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring DisplayPort Gen2 signal routing with low insertion loss and high bandwidth. Consider the TFBGA48 package constraints and ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 5 mm x 5 mm body size. Verify that the control logic can provide the necessary CMOS input levels for GPU_SEL and DDC_AUX_SEL signals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CBTL06 series of high-speed switches manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It is specifically engineered for multimedia interfaces like DisplayPort and PCI Express. The device integrates multiple switching functions into a single compact package, reducing board space compared to discrete solutions.
